2017 Week 46: Melbourne Queen Victoria Market

The fun fact is that the Queen Victoria Market ranks as one of our top destinations in Melbourne. First, it’s about shopping, and that makes the missus happy. Second, it’s physically un-demanding and easily accessible in Melbourne’s inner city, so that makes the missus happy too. Third, happy missus means my life becomes easier and generates even more happiness. 😛

All right, it is actually a genuinely interesting place. That’s important too.

To describe it simply, this place has character. From the variety of different foodstuffs on offer to the daily routine of people buying, selling and eating – there are many interesting moments to experience and behold.

To be honest, this is a photography blog, not a travel blog. So I’ll stop talking too much and let the images speak for themselves. All images were taken with the incredibly lightweight Nikon Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G mounted on a D610. The Nikon D610 may be nearing 5 years old now, but with a little careful RAW processing it delivers an amazing balance of resolution, dynamic range and low_light performance.
